Default make

Hi there,
Asian people like to 'make somebody do this or that' OR 'the film makes me happy.' How can we avoid this? Any other way to rewrite these sentences but keep the meaning?

thanks
simojn

Talking Re: make

With daily speaking it's normal. I don't think we need to find other changes. But with written English, need to try new sentences.
